With <Rg^2>=1/N [sum[(Ri-Rc)^{2}>] where Rc is the center of mass, =1/N sum Ri, and provided that <R^2>=2Lζ .Show that sqrt(R^{2})=sqrt(L ζ /3)

The formula for calculating the radius of gyration is R^2 = √(Lζ/3), where R is the radius of gyration, L is the length of the object, and ζ is the moment of inertia.
The radius of gyration represents the distance from the axis of rotation at which the entire mass of an object can be concentrated to produce the same moment of inertia as the object itself.
The radius of gyration is inversely proportional to an object's mass distribution. This means that the larger the radius of gyration, the more spread out the mass is, and the smaller the radius of gyration, the more concentrated the mass is.
Yes, the radius of gyration can be used to calculate an object's rotational kinetic energy. The equation is T = 1/2Iω^2, where T is the rotational kinetic energy, I is the moment of inertia, and ω is the angular velocity.
The radius of gyration is used in various real-world applications, such as in the design and analysis of rotating objects like propellers, flywheels, and gymnastics equipment. It is also used in structural engineering to determine the stability and strength of buildings and bridges.
